Dirty Projectors is a group led by singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist David Longstreth. Based in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, with connections to the Portland, Oregon scene, the group produces a distinctive sound of electronic experimentation, melded with traditional instruments and complexly harmonised vocals. Their recordings range from Prince-style one-man studio productions, to arranged orchestrations, to basic voice over nylon-string guitar, to an amalgamation of all these tactics. Following a string of releases for Marriage Records and Western Vinyl including ‘The Getty Address’ - a conceptual opera written from the point of view of Don Henley as a Spanish Conquistador - a new LP entitled ‘Rise Above’ will be out on Dead Oceans in the summer. It’s an attempt to re-imagine the lyrics of Black Flag’s ‘Damaged’ album from memory over a complicated music that takes influence from contemporary African blues and funk!
